The troops he led were the last main force of the Qing Dynasty.
If he failed, the Qing Dynasty would be defeated as well.
In order to escape Li Dingguo's encirclement, Dorgon marched according to the upper limit of 150 miles per day.
After hurrying and hurrying, we finally arrived near Weijialing Pass.
What greeted him was not a welcome ceremony from friendly forces, but artillery fire from the Ming army.
When he was about to force his way through, he received news that a war was going on near Zhen'an Fort.
